Rainbow-A-Thon 2017 TBR

This readathon runs from August 25th-31st. Here’s the link to the ​goodreads group. If we’ve learned anything from my previous (and first!) readathon it’s that I can’t read a book a day. As much as I’d like to believe in myself to do so, I can’t. Also, with full time school starting (today!) and training for my second job, I definitely won’t be able to read these 7 books in a week. So, I’m extending this readathon to a full month! Instead of 25th-31st I’m changing the dates, for myself, to Aug 20th-Sept 16th. That’s a full 4 weeks, so it’s actually a doable goal for me this time around. Let’s get started with my to be read pile!

Day 1- WhiteI’ll be buddy reading Under the Banner of Heaven with a coworker next week so that’s top priority. I’m just really eager to pick up A Darker Shade of Magic!

Day 2- YellowTwo options again, probably going to go with More Happy Than Not because Strange the Dreamer is a chunky book! I’d rather enjoy my time reading that one than rushing through it for a marathon.

Day 3- OrangeI tried putting Orange is the New Black on here but let’s be real. I always think I’m going to read that book, I put it on a bunch of TBRs but I never get to it 🙁 Some day! I’m excited to dive into Illuminae! I’ve heard such great things about this book.

Day 4- GreenThis counts as green right?

Day 5- PinkI bet a lot of readers are going to choose this book for this category!

Day 6- BlackI’m excited to dive into This Savage Song but I need to finish The Fellowship of the Ring. I’ve been ‘reading’ it for some time now (I refuse to dnf it.)

Day 7- PurpleThe last and final book of the Starbound trilogy. I’m excited to see how it ends!

I’m kind of sad there’s no blue category in this readathon. Anyway, there are my ideas on what I’m going to read. I should’ve added a ​1001 book but I just don’t have time to go through and pick out cover colors.

Wish me luck on this readathon! Will you be participating? Have you read any of these books? Tell me the book you’re most excited to read!
